Rocky Neck State Park

Date: Oct 22, 2012 Report Type: TA Report: Trail Name: Rocky Neck State Park Town: East lyme Trail Conditions: Dry and Leafy Observations/Information: Well, Fall is here! trails are pretty dry for the most part but there is a pretty heavy coating of leaves making it a tad slippery at speed, use caution!

The State kept me at Rocky Neck an extra week to work on the trails after most of the other seasonal employees were laid off, unfortunately I only got to work on the main trails and even those didn't get 100% the attention I would have liked to give them. I did get to the little roller coaster (starting at the balance rock) and cut back the briars and got to the Yellow trail section on the edge of the 4 Mile River so you should be able to ride without too much branch whip ;)

Also got into the fields and though the big field cutter was down I used a weedwacker and got the grass cut back so you can actually ride/walk the trails.

there is still a couple branches left from last yr's storms that are stuck in the trees/brush on the side of the white trail, I cut back as much as I could of the brush so you can at least see them now, USE CAUTION in that area as they are right hat head height, hopefully the State Gnomes will get a chance to get out there with chain saws and clear them!

Our Mission

The Central Connecticut chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (CCT NEMBA) is a community of mountain bikers and trail advocates dedicated to advancing the sport of mountain biking in Connecticut. Since 1997 we have worked with land managers to build, maintain, and improve legal trails and support appropriate trail use. We organize rides, offer educational trail schools to all trail users, and build relationships within the mountain bike community of riders, trail builders, shops, advocates, and others. We support mountain biking because it is a fun, healthy activity that all ages and abilities can enjoy.
